Just what we need: more spam from security companies trying to drum up
business.

First of all, that's a really lame reply. It doesn't make sense and it just
makes you sound like an 8-year-old. You should work on that. The "fucktard"
thing is a dead giveaway that you've got nothing.

Second of all, you need to learn to select your "news" sources more
carefully. The author of the "well-meaning" blog you posted works for
Kaspersky Labs. His job is to stir every security issue into a "threat" that
will motivate you to but their software. I hoep you feel stupid now, because
you really are.

Whoops! Ms Penguin deleted the rest of my comment. I'm guessing there's
something relevant there. Shall we see?

What was Ms Penguin afraid of, I wonder? That one her brood would get a good
telling off?

First of all, that's a really lame reply. It doesn't make sense and it
just makes you sound like an 8-year-old. You should work on that. The
"freetard" thing is a dead giveaway that you've got nothing.

Looks like I did fail that test.

<shakes head> David, David -- To make this comeback work, you need to follow
a mocking "first of all" with a substantive "second of all" -- like I did
(see above). Can you handle that? No, didn't so.
